Applications

Many advanced networking features are provided by this Broadband Router:
Wired and Wireless LAN
The Broadband Router provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices, and wireless connection speed up to 300 Mbps. This router is fully compliant with specifications defined in IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n draft v2.0 standards, making it easy to create a network in small offices or homes.
Internet Access
This device UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) interface for your Internet connection.
Shared IP Address
The Broadband Router provides Internet access for up to 253 users via a single shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your network can browse the web at the same time.
Applications
3
Introduction
Virtual Server
If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the Broadband Router to act as a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access various services at your site using a constant IP address. Then, depending on the requested service (or port number), the Broadband Router can route the request to the appropriate server (at another internal IP address). This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network.
DMZ Host Support
Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet. This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an Internet application from functioning correctly.
Security
The Broadband Router supports security features that deny Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific services that the administrator does not want to serve. The Broadband Router’s firewall also blocks common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. WPA/WPA2, IEEE802.1x, WEP, SSID, and MAC filtering provide security over the wireless network.
